Let it go
My dear,
He does not care.
I’m sorry if you think he did.
He doesn’t think about you at night.
I’m sorry if you think that he does or did.
He doesn’t see your face in a crowded room.
He could be looking at the woman behind you or next to you.
He never did care about you.
He only loved you chasing him because it fed his ego.
It made his ego bigger while making your self-esteem smaller.
He doesn’t remember the feeling of kissing your lips or being intimate with you.
He’s kissed so many lips and there have been many he’s been intimate with that he’s forgotten.
He forgot the color of your eyes when the sun hits them and the shape of your eyes…
Even though you remember the words he told you to make you feel important.
And those words?
Those words were probably the same words he told all of those other women.
You remember everything because everything with him was special for you.
The intimacy, the love, the words, the smiles, and the touch.
He doesn’t talk about you or mention you to others or tell you how badly he misses you.
He never did.
You’ve questioned that and you always will.
It’s time to stop overthinking that.
You are the only fool who does that because again, you are feeding his ego which make his insecurities go away but make yours come to light.
He doesn’t love you anymore and maybe he never did and just said those words to you to get what he wanted because he had that leverage over you.
I’m sorry honey but it’s time to let him go even if he is the father of your child and was your first love.
Even if he has been the person you’ve gone to for all of your problems.
And has been what you thought was your best friend and believed that your conversations between you two were kept between the two of you when some of them weren’t.
Walk away…
Let go of that love you are holding to.
Nothing is going to be like it was because it never was genuine.
Let him go.
Let it go.
Stop standing there paralyzed by the pain of what was done to you.
Move on.Voting is closed

Helen, I remember acknowledging this truth during a previous heartbreak. It hurts so bad to know that the person breaking your heart doesn’t even care enough to miss you. You are so right that, at the end of the day, all we can do is let go and move on. Then we can find the true love that we deserve. Thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you for this. It took a lot of therapy and motivation to keep pushing forward. I’m sorry you had to go through this as well.

When I was a sophomore in college, my mother gave me some very tough love. She said, “He doesn’t love you anymore. He is seeing other people. Get over it and move on.” Sometimes, giving ourselves that tough love is the best thing for us. Your piece reminded me of that. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

I think this is why I am the way I am. My mother was the same so I learn to show myself the same.
